I happened to notice that qubes leaves log files for all closed-out VMs, 
including disposable ones, in the /var/log/libvirst/libxl/, /var/log/qubes/ and 
/var/log/xen/console/ directories. 

Those are definitely required for debugging, but...should there be any concern 
about keeping these logs in these places indefinitely in production systems? 

While certain types of information leakage from all VMs into dom0 is an 
accepted part of the qubes architecture (it houses the GUI after all)...it 
might be unexpected from a user perspective that in-depth records of disposable 
VM startups, configuration and kernel logging is being stored indefinitely in 
these logs.

If so, I'll put a request into the qubes-issues github repository, perhaps for 
a setting or switch to address.
